New York, NY – Due to overwhelming ticket demand, Second Stage Theater (Carole Rothman, Artistic Director; Casey Reitz, Executive Director) has announced a one-week extension of the New York Premiere of TRACY LETTS’ acclaimed play, MARY PAGE MARLOWE. The production will now play through Sunday, August 19.

Directed by LILA NEUGEBAUER, MARY PAGE MARLOWE opened on July 12 at Second Stage’s Tony Kiser Theater (305 West 43rd Street) to rave reviews. Jesse Green of The New York Times called it, “a gripping play…all six Mary Pages are excellent;” David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter praised the production as “an intimate collage of a woman’s life, rendered in piercing emotional detail;” and Marilyn Stasio in Variety called MARY PAGE MARLOWE “Brilliant!”

The cast features BLAIR BROWN, EMMA GEER, MIA SINCLAIR JENNESS, TATIANA MASLANY, KELLIE OVERBEY, and SUSAN POURFAR as the title character at different points in her life, as well as DAVID AARON BAKER, KAYLI CARTER, AUDREY CORSA, MARCIA DeBONIS, NICK DILLENBURG, RYAN FOUST, TESS FRAZER, GRACE GUMMER, BRIAN KERWIN, MARIA ELENA RAMIREZ, ELLIOT VILLAR, and GARY WILMES.

If you looked back on eleven moments from your life, would you recognize yourself, or would you see a stranger? Mary Page Marlowe is a seemingly ordinary accountant from Ohio who has experienced pain and joy, success and failure. In this sweeping but intimate play, Tracy Letts gives us a haunting portrait of a complex woman, demonstrating how a series of forgotten moments can add up to one memorable life.

MARY PAGE MARLOWE features scenic design by Laura Jellinek, costume design by Kaye Voyce, lighting design by Tyler Micoleau, sound design by Brandon Wolcott, original music by Bray Poor and casting by Telsey + Company. Lead production support is provided by Gina Maria Leonetti. Additional support provided by a grant from the Blanche and Irving Laurie Foundation.

This production marks Mr. Letts’ return to Second Stage Theater, which produced the New York premiere of his play, Man from Nebraska, directed by David Cromer, in February 2017.

Tickets are available at 2ST.com or by calling the Second Stage Box Office at 212-246-4422, open Sunday-Friday 12pm-6pm and Saturday 12pm-7pm.

SECOND STAGE THEATER ON BROADWAY

Second Stage Theater purchased the historic Helen Hayes Theater, located at 240 W. 44th Street, in 2015. The company will continue to lease and operate their original theaters on the city’s Upper West Side and in Midtown Manhattan. Second Stage Theater enlisted David Rockwell and The Rockwell Group to make renovations and updates to the 106-year-old landmark building.

Second Stage Theater’s inaugural Broadway season includes the Broadway Premiere of Kenneth Lonergan’s Lobby Hero, directed by Trip Cullman and featuring Michael Cera, Chris Evans, Brian Tyree Henry, and Bel Powley, currently in performances through May 13, 2018. LOBBY HERO is sponsored by American Express.

Second Stage’s second Broadway production, Young Jean Lee’s STRAIGHT WHITE MEN, directed by Anna D. Shapiro, and starring Kate Bornstein, Josh Charles, Ty Defoe, Armie Hammer, Stephen Payne and Paul Schneider, is currently in previews and will officially open on Monday, July 23.

This inaugural season kicks off Second Stage’s mission of creating and building a permanent home on Broadway dedicated exclusively to American plays and living American playwrights.

Second Stage’s acclaimed production of Harvey Fierstein’s TORCH SONG will also transfer to its new Broadway home, beginning performances on Tuesday, October 9 and opening Thursday, November 1.

Second Stage Theater is investing in its future on Broadway by co-commissioning established playwrights through its STAGE-2-STAGE program, launching with Los Angeles’s Center Theatre Group. This ongoing program will provide a pathway to Broadway, with each play receiving an initial production in Los Angeles at one of CTG’s three theatres before moving to New York. The commissioned playwrights are Jon Robin Baitz, Will Eno, Lisa Kron, Young Jean Lee, Lynn Nottage, and Paula Vogel.

Second Stage Theater is also co-commissioning a new work from Bess Wohl for Broadway, through a partnership with the Williamstown Theatre Festival, and new works for Broadway from Lydia R. Diamond and Dominique Morisseau, which will be developed in association with Kenny Leon’s True Colors Theater.
